Carbon82 Moderator July 16, 2017 Author Share July 16, 2017 I understand your frustrations, but since this is the only way down for the future generations, what can we as the current generation do about it? The country is going downhill, because the younger generation is less motivated than previous ones. Cars getting more expensive and impossible to get, houses also reaching millions and yet shrink to the size of a tennis court. Already seen many people not motivated, some work part time jobs and earn enough to live by, don't want to go further up. Some left Singapore for better opportunities and living places. What can motivate them further here if cars and houses keep on increasing prices? The govt wants it's people to be hungry to compete with other countries but if they continue to "dangle the food higher and higher", eventually people stop being more hungry or some would just go elsewhere to find more food. I sort of agreed with your point. When the price of house and car are out of reach (not that everyone is entitled to it), those potential buyer will get demoralised if they fail to achieve their goad after working hard for years. But on the other end, I know of people (in this group) that when they cannot save enough for what they want, they spend it on other things, such as watches / brand stuff, exotic travel and you guess it, FOOD. So in some way, I think our government do see that and is using such mentality to boost economy in short term. But really, I don't think such strategy work well in long run, as it generally lower it citizen spending power and making us "poorer". 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahyoo2002 2nd Gear July 17, 2017 Share July 17, 2017 Mazda is very crowded but maybe due to CX5 launched. However I am not very sure why the showroom at Leng Kee display so many cars with the "SOLD". No Mazda 6 (except one wagon) on display too. Toyota is very crowded and the main focus is Harrier and maybe RAV4 (maybe clearing this?)? However, zero cat A car on display. There is one and only Altis for test drive. Meaning most Cat A (or even B?) still not ready for Euro 6? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually all of the new cars are EURO 6 ready, according to some of the brands that I have asked. New Corolla Altis is EURO 6 compliant. However cars like Honda Jazz will have the EURO 6 variant once the face lift version is brought in within the next few months. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a number already euro 6, Kia price list almost are models all listed as Euro 6. Also noticed the new Euro 6 Altis got better fuel consumption as listed compared to the previous model.
